Is your favourite wine venue in the top 50 for 2020?
The Wineslinger Awards’ Top 50 Venues 2020 have been announced with only the Northern Territory missing out on at least one venue making the list.
Making it to the list is the first stage in the process, with each of the 50 venues now in the running for the ‘Wineslinger’, ‘Best New Haunt’, the ‘Maverick’ and ‘People’s Choice’ trophies.
Sommeliers, journalists and hospitality professionals from across the country are involved in the voting process.
Voting for the trophies ends on 19 October 2020 at 12.00pm and it is now open to the public to choose the ‘People’s Choice’. FDor each vote by the public, a $1 will be donated by Wineslinger to the hospitality relief program “Tip Jar”, so we not only get to vote for our favourite wine place but can help support those working in it whilst we vote.
The award ceremony will be done virtually because of COVID-19 on the 19 October 2020
Wineslinger Founder Rory Kent said;“COVID-19 has made it a pretty tough year for venues nationwide, with forced closures across the industry. We’ve all been bottled up. Some adapted by pivoting to selling wine retail and food as takeaway, some others battened down the hatches and waited for the storm to pass, while others cut their losses and shut up shop. Right now is a time when venues need support and recognition more than ever. It’s a time to celebrate those places and hospitality professionals that we love. Additionally, we’re determined to raise funds through Tip Jar that will feed, house, employ, upskill and support the food and beverage industry.”
